Connecting the DTR-8.4
—Continued
This section shows how to connect a VCR for recording
from a TV or another VCR.
Video Connections
• Use an S-Video cable to connect the DTR-8.4’s
S VIDEO VIDEO 1 OUT to an S-Video input on your
recording VCR. Use another S-Video cable to connect
the DTR-8.4’s S VIDEO VIDEO 3 IN to an S-Video
output on your TV or playback VCR, as shown.
OR
• Use a composite video cable to connect the DTR-8.4’s
VIDEO VIDEO 1 OUT to a composite video input on
your recording VCR. Use another composite video
cable to connect the DTR-8.4’s VIDEO VIDEO 3 IN
to a composite video output on your TV or playback
VCR, as shown.
Audio Connections
• Use an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect
the DTR-8.4’s AUDIO VIDEO 1 L/R OUTs to the
audio inputs on your recording VCR.
• Use an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect
the DTR-8.4’s AUDIO VIDEO 3 L/R IN inputs to the
audio outputs on your TV or playback VCR.
Playback from the Recording VCR
To enjoy playback from the recording VCR through the
DTR-8.4, use an S-Video cable to connect the DTR-8.4’s
S VIDEO VIDEO 1 IN input to an S-Video output on
your recording VCR, or use a composite video cable to
connect the DTR-8.4’s VIDEO VIDEO 1 IN input to a
composite video output on your recording VCR, and use
an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect the
DTR-8.4’s AUDIO VIDEO 1 L/R IN inputs to the audio
outputs on your recording VCR.
Notes:
• The DTR-8.4 must be turned On for recording.
Recording is not possible while it’s in Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or play-
back VCR to your recording VCR without going
through the DTR-8.4, connect your TV/VCR’s audio
and video outputs directly to your recording VCR’s
AV inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV and
VCR for details.
•Video signals connected to composite video inputs
can only be recorded via composite video outputs. If
your TV and video playback components are con-
nected via composite video, you must connect your
recording VCR via composite video as well. Similarly,
video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be
recorded via S-Video outputs. If your TV and video
playback components are connected via S-Video, you
must connect your recording VCR via S-Video as
well.
